Sitokinler are small proteins released by cells that play a crucial role in cell signaling. They help regulate immune responses, inflammation, and the production of blood cells. By communicating between cells, sitokinler ensure that the body can respond effectively to infections and other challenges. There are various types of sitokinler, including interleukins, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interferons. Each type has specific functions, such as promoting cell growth, activating immune cells, or inhibiting viral replication. Understanding sitokinler is essential for developing treatments for diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders.
